Would you be growing weed if it weren't legal

It aint legal, but I'd love to jump on the licenced grower train if/when it does..
Aus has some pretty shite politicians that are very busy selling us off to china and lining their own pockets, so i imagine a licence is going to be very expensive :/

If the license would force you to grow only licensed strains, genetically or otherwise marked/manipulated from Monsanto or its chinese counterpart, wouldnt you be happy to grow without license?

:peace:

I am happy to grow without, more so with those conditions applied.
I just think it'd be a good cause to become a licenced grower... and far less paranoia? ;)

Hope it works out niceley for you Bro!
I am verry suspicios when those grey heads start regulating my shit. Its a difference if they do it for decriminalisation of the people or just to tax you.
They should do it for the people but they do it for "Mo Profit".
The idea of maximum profit kills every good thing in any plan.
Look at fish growen in aquaculture.
Aquaculture salmon is maybe the most poisones meal you can have today. Same with nearly all comercial aquaculture farms. Except some of those on Land.

Edit
You can be sure every cop would sign up for total decriminalisation/legalisation of mj.
Most of them became Cops to hunt real criminals, not hippies and gardeners.
Imagine the manpower that is set free to hunt real criminals when cops dont have to run behind every 10g pack of weed. But a bunch of grey heads dont want this to happen. Because tax is not enough for them.
Their drugs are called Power and Profit. Some of the most addictive drugs on earth.

Peace

Yes, i guess i would be hoping for the best case scenario, probably not much chance of that happening here. I assume Aus would model their laws/system off somewhere in the states (most likely the most profitable or best tax income).

I hear you on aquaculture; i managed a land based cod farm in a previous life...

I'm told cops here are rediculously understaffed so you'd have to be making some noise or have someone nark on you to be caught.. Sounds safe enough for a personal grow op

Sticky mushroom shaped tricones all over the fairly large buds.

I couldn't give less of a toss about the absurdity in UK law and the current political classes inability to have a mature debate concerning drugs and the highly misguided and outdated Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. I grow it very much against the law as quite frankly - what business does any human politician have "outlawing" a natural plant?

Chemically synthesised scourge drugs I understand, but a naturally occurring plant... I don't think so mate.

If it were (and will be) eventually decriminalised in the UK - I would be seeking to grow it on a commecial basis.

However this is Conservative Britain, and when it does happen you know that the only people who will be able to grow it on a commercial basis will be those with a licence that will cost £100,000 to apply for or some other prohibitively expensive bit of bureaucracy to ensure that the little guy cannot benefit and big pharma does.

Mark my words that is exactly what will happen.
You got it spot on mate ,

Just getting back into growing, but I would be legal or not. I also grow my own tomatoes, Hungarian peppers (Mmmmm....), etc. I trust what I grow.
hungarian peppers! youre a gourmet.
R you in Europe?

btw. you mentioned in your other posting in the other thread that you grow auto jack herrer now.....
I can recommend the strain! was my best outdoor auto ever this year 10 weeks seed to harvest.
got mine from bulkseeds was named jack hair auto I believe. was realy good for auto!
absolutly recommendable!
 
Not a gourmet -- just Hungarian. I'm in the states. Good to hear about your experience with the Jack Herer Auto. My seeds were given to me by a buddy, I think they are Greenhouse Seed stock.

Kinda off topic, but Hungarian peppers, sliced in rings, tossed with some sliced sweet onion in a vinagrette. Damn good stuff. I know what I'm having for lunch now...
Now i envy you!

Hungarian Yellow Wax Peppers. I grow them most years, but not this one.

I do grow a few tomatoes. The rain is fucking with me at the moment. My main two are Pruden's Purple and Brandywine. Neither of which do well in daily thunderstorms.

I have some Habs, but not really into the super hots. I grow Cayenne and Serrano's for pepper sauce. Hatch, Jalapeno, Bells and Mini Sweets for salads and cooking. The Hatch is the only thing I have that is not readily available in most big box garden centers. Sister did the tourist thing in Hatch New Mexico, and I got a 1/4 pound of seeds out of the deal.

I am more of the tomato and herb and veggie guy.

{we are just doing our part to keep the thread alive}

My wife went through a pepper jelly phase. The whole green and red jars for Christmas presents. We still have lots of it on the shelves. We made up a few recipes ourselves. I'll ask her for some of the recipes if you are interested.

Ahhhh would love to have some more at hand!!! I only own one.
Hard to get here... but I am creative and mom was a chef and I was often in kitchen with her, trying to help,lol, and drinking words from her lips, when she was still alive. God bless her!

Most basics about cooking, gardening, and using a knife came from Mama.:hump:
